I went to see The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift last night with some other movie theater employees. I considered it a win, all-around, but whether you like it or not will depend on several key factors:

1. Whether you are there with people who like seeing movies that are good because they are actually bad, and are at liberty to comment frequently about the goings on.

2. Whether you like Japanese boys (and girls really) with ridiculous cars and even more ridiculous hair. Bonus points if you think the word "Yosh!" is the cutest word ever and like to speculate about exactly what they are eating.

3. Whether or not you think Sung Kang is the most glorious thing to ever grace a B movie (and he IS). He's easily the coolest character in the movie, mmmmmm. I would show you, but in the grand tradition of adorable Japanese boys, his hot is sort of all about motion and never looks that great in a single frame.

4. DRIFTING. If you think it's really fucking cool and don't mind watching the american loser wreck car after gorgeous car trying to do it, the parking garage racing is totally worth it.

In other news, I'm losing a battle of wills with Kobayashi, even with a sunburnt and willing Kazuhiro on my side. Grrrr.

you ARE. There's even some quality Japanese rap as background music in a few places.

if you can just get past the lead guy's Southern accent. >.

But I LOVE Lucas Black's accent! I'm so pleased he hasn't lost it over the years since doing American Gothic. The accent is a total bonus for me. XD

you'd think a naked kazuhiro demanding sex explicitly would be good enough, but no. *shakes fist*

"a no-win scenario as a test of character" for sure. Grrrr.

It would be okay if he wouldn't change his mind back and forth! i have to keep starting the porn over again.

mmmmm...Is it really worth it to see american losers wreck beautiful car after beautiful car?

I may take one of my friends who is ubergeek and have visited all the racetracks mentioned/done in Initial D. She may get a kick out of it.

Bonus points if there's a HachiRoku with Fujiwaru Tofu Shop sticker on the side in the movie.
